Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this image, the aperture of f/16 provides a deep depth of field, while the ISO 200 and 1/100 s exposure ensure a balanced exposure in the prevailing light.

  • Use a small aperture to ensure the rocky slope and the cableway pylon are rendered with consistent sharpness.
  • Observe how the fog obscures or highlights elements to emphasize the spatial depth of the scene.
  • Choose a perspective where the cables act as leading lines to guide the viewer's eye towards the main subject.
